say_v all_o this_o variety_n aptness_n and_o symmetry_n of_o part_n proceed_v from_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o thing_n a_o answer_v unbecoming_a a_o philosopher_n and_o altogether_o as_o ridiculous_a as_o the_o occult_a quality_n of_o the_o old_a aristotelian_o for_o whence_o have_v these_o seed_n that_o virtue_n be_v it_o from_o their_o figure_n or_o contexture_n of_o part_n here_o we_o be_v silent_a beside_o it_o have_v be_v prove_v by_o a_o learned_a author_n that_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o seed_n enter_v not_o into_o the_o composition_n of_o the_o body_n we_o can_v with_o all_o our_o bustle_n tell_v why_o a_o invisible_a point_n in_o the_o egg_n shall_v grow_v up_o into_o a_o chick_n and_o why_o not_o as_o well_o into_o a_o calf_n we_o can_v say_v it_o be_v from_o the_o seed_n or_o some_o plastic_a virtue_n in_o it_o from_o its_o fitness_n or_o from_o its_o nature_n and_o then_o we_o think_v we_o have_v give_v a_o very_a philosophical_a account_n this_o be_v so_o far_o from_o disprove_v a_o alwise_a author_n that_o it_o rather_o prove_v he_o to_o be_v for_o what_o can_v be_v more_o admirable_a than_o that_o in_o so_o small_a a_o atom_n so_o small_a a_o part_n of_o the_o seed_n shall_v lie_v hide_v the_o power_n of_o life_n and_o vegetation_n and_o all_o the_o organ_n and_o part_n of_o a_o plant_n or_o a_o tree_n or_o a_o animal_n this_o seem_v to_o i_o a_o convince_v proof_n that_o there_o be_v a_o author_n of_o nature_n and_o that_o nature_n be_v nothing_o but_o the_o art_n of_o god_n there_o be_v curious_a microscope_n that_o will_v show_v you_o enough_o in_o a_o fly_n to_o make_v you_o admire_v the_o deity_n and_o discover_v to_o you_o the_o beauty_n the_o evenness_n and_o smoothness_n of_o contexture_n in_o the_o mean_a work_n of_o nature_n a_o leaf_n or_o flower_n and_o the_o roughness_n and_o craggedness_n of_o the_o fine_a artificial_a thing_n he_o that_o see_v contain_v in_o a_o cubick_a inch_n many_o hundred_o thousand_o little_a

less_o than_o two_o thousand_o year_n ago_o put_v to_o we_o which_o notwithstanding_o all_o our_o study_n we_o have_v not_o yet_o learn_v to_o baffle_v and_o that_o be_v if_o all_o this_o can_v be_v do_v by_o atom_n why_o may_v not_o atom_n build_v a_o house_n or_o a_o temple_n which_o be_v far_o more_o easy_a i_o tell_v you_o true_o you_o may_v as_o well_o think_v that_o book_n of_o god_n which_o those_o poor_a pilgrim_n yonder_o in_o the_o narrow_a way_n pay_v such_o a_o just_a veneration_n unto_o to_o be_v make_v only_o by_o the_o concourse_n of_o letter_n range_v themselves_o into_o such_o a_o order_n and_o never_o to_o have_v be_v dictate_v or_o write_v by_o any_o i_o say_v you_o may_v as_o well_o believe_v this_o as_o that_o this_o other_o book_n of_o god_n the_o vast_a volume_n of_o nature_n which_o so_o just_o deserve_v our_o admiration_n be_v not_o make_v by_o a_o intelligent_a author_n you_o may_v believe_v this_o if_o you_o please_v and_o then_o you_o be_v fit_a to_o believe_v any_o thing_n so_o you_o may_v not_o believe_v there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o that_o you_o have_v a_o soul_n to_o forfeit_v to_o he_o you_o may_v believe_v that_o atom_n can_v rig_v out_o a_o fleet_n of_o ship_n and_o build_v the_o city_n as_o well_o as_o make_v the_o man_n that_o inhabit_v it_o for_o how_o inconsiderable_a be_v this_o to_o the_o mass_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n and_o its_o inhabitant_n yet_o the_o earth_n be_v hold_v to_o be_v scarce_o a_o physical_a point_n if_o compare_v to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o universe_n but_o though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o demonstrative_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n yet_o there_o be_v some_o few_o who_o you_o and_o i_o know_v that_o if_o they_o can_v comprehend_v he_o think_v they_o may_v lawful_o doubt_v whether_o he_o be_v or_o not_o as_o if_o the_o most_o perfect_a essence_n shall_v be_v comprehensible_a to_o such_o worm_n as_o we_o more_o just_o might_n beetle_n think_v to_o comprehend_v what_o we_o be_v have_v patience_n a_o little_a and_o i_o will_v show_v you_o how_o foolish_a a_o evasion_n this_o be_v i_o be_o now_o very_o much_o upon_o the_o suppose_n suppose_v therefore_o again_o that_o you_o be_v bear_v blind_a and_o know_v not_o what_o sight_n be_v how_o shall_v you_o be_v able_a to_o conceive_v what_o colour_n be_v suppose_v also_o you_o have_v never_o be_v able_a to_o

how_o can_v you_o paint_v in_o your_o fancy_n a_o concert_n of_o music_n yet_o i_o judge_v there_o be_v the_o same_o reason_n why_o our_o imperfect_a and_o corporalize_v intellect_n can_v comprehend_v what_o spirit_n be_v nor_o be_v it_o to_o be_v wonder_v at_o that_o whatsoever_o be_v spiritual_a be_v above_o our_o comprehension_n the_o common_a and_o ordinary_a thing_n in_o nature_n be_v almost_o as_o unintelligible_a and_o hard_a to_o unravel_v as_o many_o thing_n in_o faith_n that_o put_v weak_a head_n to_o a_o stand_n but_o those_o who_o the_o formation_n and_o colour_n but_o of_o a_o hair_n will_v be_v enough_o to_o puzzle_v think_v if_o they_o can_v understand_v the_o nature_n of_o their_o soul_n they_o may_v deny_v that_o it_o exist_v and_o though_o philosophy_n can_v give_v a_o satisfactory_a account_n even_o of_o body_n end_n determine_v of_o what_o it_o consist_v whether_o divisibles_n or_o indivisibles_n yet_o they_o look_v that_o theology_n shall_v give_v a_o better_a account_n of_o spirit_n he_o who_o because_o he_o can_v not_o solve_v all_o the_o difficulty_n deny_v there_o be_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o motion_n in_o the_o world_n err_v quite_o as_o pardonable_o as_o he_o that_o upon_o the_o same_o reason_n can_v deny_v a_o deity_n or_o a_o immaterial_a be_v there_o be_v undeniable_a and_o demonstrate_v truth_n in_o the_o mathematics_n themselves_o such_o

the_o centre_n and_o the_o circumference_n can_v be_v the_o same_o that_o two_o parallellogram_n upon_o the_o same_o or_o equal_a base_a and_o within_o the_o same_o parallel_n though_o one_o be_v
